Data protection notice

The protection of your personal data is a key concern of the General Settlement Fund for Victims of National Socialism. Without exception, your personal data is processed in keeping with the latest provisions governing data protection, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation.

The following contains information about which data we process and for what purpose, and about your data protection rights.

Your personal data are used for processing applications pursuant to the General Settlement Fund Law (Federal Law Gazette I no. 12/2001 as amended) and undertaking the tasks enshrined in the National Fund Law (Federal Law Gazette no. 432/1995 as amended). We may also pass on your data to processors mandated by the Fund (particularly postal services and the Federal Accounting Agency), insofar as the data are required to complete the task for which they have been mandated. Without exception these processors are obligated to treat your data with the strictest confidence and to process them only within the scope of the task for which they have been mandated.

The data protection legislation furnishes you as a data subject with comprehensive rights. First and foremost, these rights are intended to ensure greater transparency in how your data is handled. Your rights as a data subject include a right of access to all personal information concerning you; a right to rectification and, under certain circumstances, to erasure; and a right to limit their processing, and to object to their processing, unless prevented by other statutory provisions.
